Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the battered sausage and chips, with one returning customer calling the sausage the best they have had and another praising its crispy batter with no soft parts. The fish also earns praise from several, described as white, moist and flaky under crispy batter, and the pie and fish cake get favorable mentions. Reviewers also credit fast service, friendly staff and portion sizes that were spot on. Complaints are split and specific. One reviewer found the fish tasteless and mushy in a poor batter, another got reheated food with soggy batter and half the chips cold, and a third found the fish unsalted. One reviewer thought the mushy peas far too sweet, while another says a request for a large portion of chips got a normal scoop. Several reviewers also call the pricing too high for what they received. One reviewer who paid by card was still served, though the shop asks for cash if possible.

“Not as good looks as if it has New owner. Ask for large portion of chips just had normal scoop. Pepsi can reads not to be sold as single pack only.”
- Lionel Allan
“Ordered two large fish and chips. Fish was HORRIBLE..tasteless and mushy, fish in a poor batter. £11 per fish only is way over priced. Would not recommend ordering a meal from them.”

“The fish was tasty, but it wasn’t salted at all🧂0️⃣ The pie was great 🥧👌 I had the impression that the server didn’t really like me, though it might just be their personality🤷🏼♀️ They weren’t unfriendly—just not particularly friendly either😅 I selected “terrace,” but it only means two tables—it doesn’t really have a terrace feel.”

“Just bought small fish and chips and curry sauce, over £15 (far too much). It turned out to be re-heated food, i.e. not fresh out of the deep fat fryer as you expect in a chip shop. The fish batter was soggy, and half the chips were still cold.”

“Wednesday evening, chips, battered sausage and curry sauce. Only went here because my usual was closed. Fast fast service, portion size was spot on, quite often chippies overload you with chips. Tasty food. No complaints.”
